v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Roverthechimp replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not centre mid - either right side of a three or just ahead of Buckley and Hyari. Ideally I’d want Tronstad involved but not likely and garret was just gash today. Moran has played well under JDT with quick, short interchanges and means we would have players that can (in theory) pick a pass. Shit or bust time imo -

An undeserved point, a great goal from SS and Hyari looking half decent are the only positives I can take from that. We are going down unless we majorly fluke a result or someone else loses every match Next match I’d consider Telavovic and SG with SS. Hyari, Buckley and Moran with a back four behind them. Would be interesting if nothing else 🫣🥳 -

Eustace - we have a problem! -
Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
Roverthechimp replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nailed it - didn’t have to be Venky’s that benefited from any dodgy betting. But they may have facilitated it - knowingly or not they would still be seen to be culpable. Far fetched? Being involved in match fixing and dodgy betting whilst ridiculous amounts are spent on wages and agents fees is still not as unbelievable as appointing K@#* and Coyle As for the whole Shaw situation 🥳 -

Will Pickering play RWB with Chrisene LWB? Struggling to think of any alternative. -

Yeah - i wrote what i actually meant further down in the post 🫣 (that even bets at evens or beyond are profitable) -

Be nice - Hyamey, Gally’y, Hedgey, Pearsy and Brittney (sic) are much happier now that everything is the fans fault whilst not being forced to do stupid things like learn how to pass and control a football whilst still being exonerated for being crap at defending Waiting for one of them or JE to raise our fantastic bus/coach… -
Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
Roverthechimp replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The betting market has 2 angles - one is profit (anything even beyond evens given a known outcome is a ROI) and the other is to move money around without direct links. Systematic betting fraud doesn’t need every transaction to get 33-1 - multiple bets all the way down to (and beyond) evens are winning bets if you know the outcome. If money laundering is involved then even losing money deliberately as the bookie enters the picture… -

After last season - what odds would I have got betting on a Rovers relegation this season… (ok - maybe even they aren’t stupid enough to do this whilst being investigated but… 🤫) -

The club is in profit but the owners will inject any monies needed to fund the club In short zero reinvestment and Stevie gets a pat on the head for getting us relegated 🤬 -
Next Seasons Manager
Roverthechimp replied to Tyrone Shoelaces's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Unless we have new owners or Eustace quits then he will be here next season regardless of league. Would I have him? He has a lot to prove in the remaining games and off the pitch because so far it would be no -

Have we actually been better or has Pears been the difference? Any stats guys willing to compare xg against for the last 6 vs 6 games with Wahlstedt -

Not sure if we are a helpless puppy or an ailing old lab in the dog analogy. Fight - 🤣🫣 They couldn’t fight their way into a paper bag never mind out of one! -

Swansea were shit - we were worse. Not entirely sure what our gameplan was and don’t think the players knew either. -

I’d be bringing on Gilsenan just to see if he can do it at this level -

Being a Rovers fan has given me great Pleasure at times but a also a very pessimistic view… I think today will be the day when all the bounces go against us, probably a penalty against and either a worldie or a “fell on his arse and the ball bounced off him to deceive Pears” type. 2-0 Swansea I fear but I hope I’m wrong -

Last night highlighted why implementing a plan b is not easy against teams that sit back. With SG off, and no Hedges the last 20 were “JDT” football. If Telavovic was trusted and we dared go to a back 4 then we could have just bombarded their box. That it didn’t/can’t/won’t happen under current circumstances I can fully understand given the players available and our shocking record of conceding late goals. -
